The Donald strikes back: 8 must-see moments from the most Trump press conference ever

In a wide-ranging and at times contentious press conference lasting over an hour, President Donald Trump gave an update on his administration’s progress and answered questions from the media.

The news conference was called to announce the president’s selection of Alexander Acosta to lead the Labor Department, after the previous nominee, Andrew Puzder, withdrew his name from consideration Wednesday. But the topics addressed ranged from accomplishments made by the administration in the first four weeks to the resignation of national security adviser Michael Flynn and the dishonesty of the media.

Here are some of the more memorable lines:
